Covering A Table With Metal Flashing?

I spotted these tables at the Harris Teeter in High Point, NC the other day. I just love them and it’s killing me that they are not for sale! They are being used in their floral department as their display tables. Can you see how nicely they nest under each other? But it’s the tops that have me wanting them. They are charming to look at and the best part is the tops are water proof! I think they are covered with some kind of thin metal flashing.

What a great project this would be. I am sure a pair of tin snips and a heavy duty pair of gloves would be in order.I will definitely be keeping this in mind next time I am out junking. You never know when you might cross paths with a table that needs a new look. And when I do, here is a link to eHow home with the instructions needed to make it happen. :) Have any of you tried a project like this one before?

Love 'em!!! I remember Martha doing this on one of her shows years and years ago. Of course, she made it look easy. I'm sure I'd muff it up along with dozens of cuts to my hands! We'll all be waiting for a future tutorial, Lisa! ;o)
